This is my variation on the recipe,
Start with your trim (including smaller stems) a couple Oz's worth or so.!
1lb of butter,Cheesecloth,and pot with water.
I prefer to use an outdoor cooker (propane) but you can do it in the house, it just smells to high heaven lol. Boil bud, water,and butter for 20 minutes or so, then turn down to a simmer,and boil for 4-6 hours. Keep an eye on your water level you may have to add more.
After your done simmering, take a plastic container ( I use a koolaid jug) take your a few layers of cheesecloth,and rubber band it over the top of the Koolaid jug. Pour the mixture gently through the cheesecloth. When you finish dumping it in, gently ball the cheesecloth around the left over green materail. Gently squeeze,and I mean gently . You do no want all of the green crap anyway. Discard the cheescloth,and greens.
Place the mixture upon cooling into the fridge over night. In the morning take it out,and seperate the butter from the water. It should have the consistancy of butter,and you may have to set it on some paper towels for a few minutes to absorb any left over moisture. Split into quarters if you like,and refridgerate,or freeze.
Now,exercise caution with this stuff, it is much more potent than you may yet realize. It does nit hit you immediatly like smokin it either, it is more like doing a hit of acid, in that it takes up to an hour to kick in.
I usually have my wife substitute the canna butter for regular butter in chocolate chip cookies. Two of these cookies will have ou high out of your gourd. You can make a whole batch,eat what you will,and freeze the rest. You can also spread the butter directly on toast,but as I stated above this **** is potent. Find where you are comfortable. I made the mistake the first time I made it of slathering the stuff on peanut butter toast. Big mistake. Probably the second highest I have ever been. Scary high. You have been warned lol. Enjoy.
